Default Cleveland , Ohio 850 Turbo Wagon owner

I just bought a 1995 850 Turbo Wagon from a very good friend that was the 2nd owner of it . It's got 138,000 miles on it and has been serviced by another friend and Master Mechanic , Matt Step @ Swedish Solutions before and after Brian bought it . I have all the original paperwork , folders , booklets and service records since it was bought in 1995 . The only things I need for it are the L&R Headlight Wiper Arms , which I might just forgo , and a sagging headliner in the back . I've wanted this car for almost 10 years now...lol . It's a pretty historical car in the sense that it's the official " Westside Skates " car . Brian owns and operates Westside Skates , a skateboard shop here in Northeast , Ohio since 1995 .

He took great care of it and besides an oil change which I did Friday , I can't see anything noticeable of concern . I have a pretty nice OBDII Scan Tool and couldn't find a single code anywhere , not to say there aren't your typical gremlins in hiding , lol . It's been lowered on H&R Sport Springs , which is the only modification that's been done to it . The only thing I might do , is have Matt change the Timing Belt for peace of mind . I've had 2 break on different used cars I bought .

I'm pretty stoked on the car and so is my 9 year-old son . It's nice having something newer to learn about and show him how to take care of a car and instilling basic car maintenance to him at a young age . I was lucky enough to have a hitch been welded-on for a bike rack .

Thank you , it's been very informative so far . Resetting the Volvo Service Light through the jumper wire was so damn simple , I was so tired of seeing it every day . lol .
